Yes Sirs, i have heard about double jeopardy and thank you all of you. Now, if anticipatory bail is rejected by the High Court, will it amount to resjudicata to move bail under 437 or 439?

No, it will not amount to resjudicata to move bail under 437 and 439. you can not go for 439 directly without moving u/s 437 Cr.P.C

no, it will not amount to resjudicata.
you can move bail petition under Sec 437, Cr.P.C first and then only you have the option to move under Sec 439 Cr.P.C.

NO SIR
In one case, I read that the provision of Res Judicata is given only in CPC and its provisions are not applicable in Criminal Cases.
